Table explanation
This table contains figures on the liabilities of public corporations for a given year.
Only public corporations that have liabilities of economically significant amounts are included; liabilities are economically significant when they are larger than 0.01% of GDP.
The liabilities consist of the following debt instruments: deposits, debt securities (short- and long-term) and loans (short- and long-term). The liabilities of the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) are not included in this table. Figures by controlling government subsector, and financial or other (loss or profit making) corporations are also available. All figures are based on balance sheets at the end of a given year. Publication of this table meets one of the requirements of Directive EU 2011/85 and 2024/1265, part of the Enhanced Economic Governance package ("Sixpack") adopted by the European Council in 2011.
Data available from: situation on 31 December 2017.
Status of the figures:
The figures for 2023 are provisional. The figures for the earlier years are final.
Changes as of 24 December 2025:
Figures for the years 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 have been revised. For the years 2017, 2019 and 2020, an updated GDP figure has been used for the estimate. As a result, some liabilities are not included anymore. For the years 2022 and 2023, a corporation’s liabilities were not included, whereas it should have been included.
When will new figures be published?
New provisional figures for 2024 will be published in April 2026. Previous provisional figures will then become final.
